Using an Atheros AR5211 in a RB112 station connecting to a Tropos AP that issues a 1/2 hour lease. After x renewals the DHCP client gets stuck at “requesting”. Signals are >-65 running 2.9.31. Only fix is to reboot the RB. Anyone seen this?
I don’t know if you’re using WPA but I had a similar problem with chains of WDS and WPA security… Networking is working fine, it’s only DHCP that’s stay requesting…
I’ve put the clients on a Vitrual AP with WPA support, and WDS interfaces without any keys, directly on the master interface… Release and renew is working fine now, with 6 hops…
Best Regards,

These are open - no encryption.
Thanks, Mike
Wanted to give this a bump as I’ve also having the same problem with WRAP boards too. And I’m seeing with other APs besides Tropos.

nice picture, abyss. How do those radio cards taste? Did you “fry” them?

my problem is sometimes the dhcp-client not response in aleatorie tiemes, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hour, 15 min,
my solution is generated script for renewin this dhcpcliente
but, the problem is the disconection of persistent conections. Ej: msn, download and upload big archives
I think I’ve solved this problem by setting the noise floor threshold to around -90 to -96. Working well so far…
